The Very Cheddar Quilt

An Angela quilt with major emphasis on cheddar- she is from Wisconsin, maybe that's it?

I quilted a swirl down the colored/pieced ribbon and ruler work in the cheddar-are you getting a theme here? I am hooked on rulers! When we return from vacation I have two more QOV's to quilt and you know what that means? Yep, more ruler work, LOL.

Two Comfort Quilts

This past year saw two members of our quilt group fighting cancer, and one of the members donated two quilt tops and I quilted them for these ladies

 This one was for Anne who is doing splendidly now. 

 Quilted with a freehand floral E-E and the same design in the borders.

 Very sadly our friend Limbania lost her six year battle with cancer so we took this quilt to her family and hope it will be a comfort.

 Lots of ruler work in this one.

 Another of Shiela's creative backings.

A Quilt for Aunty!

This sweet quilt's colors were chosen by an "older" lady for her bed!

So her loving niece made it for her.

E-E feathers in the body of the quilt, and feathers in the border

 Another of Shiela's interesting backings with label.

My 2018 Bonnie Hunter Mystery

Last year I decided to take the pressure off the very busy Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons and make a smaller size version of the mystery.It is around 60+" square.

I was guessing at how many of each clue I would need and came up short of one clue for the border so I had to do some creative thinking!

 Working from stash I pieced the backing.

 I started out doing ruler work for quilting but soon tired of that and ended up with an E-E for the body of the quilt.

I was not very enamored of the colors but one of my daughters in law liked it for a lap quilt for their TV room so that's where it now resides and if I wanted I could visit it LOL.

Nicky's Dinosaur Quilt

This has gone to Poland, my friend Shiela made it for her little grandson.

 The dinosaur tracks lead to Nana's house so I decided to put Nicky's footprints around the border

 Shiela's backings are always very creative.

Erica's New Granddaughter's Quilt

We searched the web while on our recent visit to Rocky Point to find an idea for this quilt.  It turned out exactly as planned and I like it so much I will probably make a few more in the same colors, I have the fabric now! I especially like the striped binding.

 The backing is a delicious soft pink minkee, the baby will love it!

Quilt Of Valor

This one is for a Vietnam Vet, Purple Heart recipient.

The border has a variety of historical names, places and military units chosen because the recipient is a historian.

 A simple white backing shows the quilting detail, lots of ruler work which I do enjoy!
